If this is a dream, don't wake me up!

Because this job opportunity surely is one that will seem almost too good to be true! (But it really is true!)

Quick TLDR;
Architecture-focused role with a requirement of deep understanding of application-level code. Building new products for a global fintech MNC - with many new products venturing into exciting domains such as AI (GenAI, LLM, etc.). Nice benefits and flexibility to boot!

Alright - got your attention? Here's more details:

What you'll be working on:

• Mostly R&D/new product innovations - helping to architect solutions and guide/mentor engineers on implementation of exciting products
• Work closely with enterprise architects and product teams to ensure that applications are architected to the agreed-upon SLAs
• Most work will be backend-centric - including APIs, microservices, cloud services, containers, and more!
• AI-related projects are to be expected - so any relevant experience is a plus (but definitely NOT a requirement).

What is expected of you:

• A very strong understanding of software/application architecture - more than just knowing event-driven architecture, you should be deeply knowledgeable on best practices for different scenarios, and know how to make the appropriate trade-offs for projects depending on the goals
• Expertise even at the code level - you're not just a high-level planner for the team. Instead, you're expected to still be able to go down to code level and contribute when necessary - so being able to still build APIs and work with modern development tools will be critical for this role (but worry not - the majority of your job scope is still centered around architectural matters).
• Good knowledge of modern development practices/tools - being part of the R&D/innovation team means that you'll be expected to bring expertise on modern tech (cloud, containers, message queues, unit testing practices, etc.) to the table
• Strong experience and background in Java development - most major code repositories and services within the organization are built in Java, so strong experience within modern Java tech is definitely important for this role (Spring, Spring Boot, etc.)

What else is cool about this?

• The opportunity to impact products at scale across the globe (it is a GLOBAL fintech after all!)
• Flexible working arrangements, and a highly-accessible office location within Kuala Lumpur
• A culture that emphasizes deep understanding and strong thought processes over mindless memorization
• Did I mention - nice compensation?

Excited at this one? Can't believe you haven't pinched yourself awake?

Overview

Join to apply for the Software Architect (Contractor) – Composable Commerce & Event-Driven Design role at CobbleWeb - The Online Marketplace Experts.

This position is 100% remote, with flexible daily/weekly hours (part-time).

We’re looking for a Software Architect contractor with strong expertise in composable modular architecture and event-driven design to support the next evolution of Sharewise: our marketplace framework that helps entrepreneurs and small businesses launch world-class platforms faster.

This isn’t a keep-the-lights-on role. You’ll be shaping the backbone of a framework designed to democratise marketplace creation and empower communities. Sharewise is built on 12+ years of CobbleWeb’s experience delivering high-performance marketplaces, and we’re now evolving it into a platform that is modular, event-driven, and future-ready.

Responsibilities

• Audit and strengthen module isolation (reduce hidden coupling).
• Push us toward a stronger event-driven architecture (pub/sub over direct calls).
• Lay the foundation for customisation: moving from fragile inheritance overrides toward clear extension hooks, composition patterns, and well-documented integration points. This is about more than code style: it’s about making Sharewise a framework where developers can confidently adapt and extend features without breaking core stability.
• Make the platform easier to scale, extend, and maintain, both for our team and for external developers.

Stack

• Backend & Core: Node.js (TypeScript) - Fastify for REST, Apollo for GraphQL, TypeORM, Redis, PostgreSQL
• Side deps: chalk, chokidar, commander, winston, class-transformer, class-validator
• Frontend: Next.js v15 & React v19
